Coconut cake recipes that utilize cake mixes can reduce the work involved in making a cake. This usually translates into a shorter list of ingredients and fewer instructions, which may make the process less daunting for beginners. To create Betty Crocker's cool coconut cake, for example, a baker combines cake mix with water, vegetable oil and egg whites to create a batter, which he pours into a pan and bakes in the oven. He then cuts the cake and dips the pieces in a mixture of coconut milk and sweetened condensed milk before coating the exterior with shredded coconut.
